I've made some minor changes to the Forum Rules. I want to stress the word "minor." This isn't so much anything new as it is a couple tweaks and a couple clarifications. For the time being, I'll leave the new stuff red, so you can easily see what it is.

Bandwidth and Performance Saving Threads that have more than 1,000 posts or 10,000 views may be locked to maintain optimal system performance and preserve bandwidth. When this is done it will be indicated as such and you're welcome to start a similar discussion again. Posts made with the explicit goal of soliciting multiple short responses ("Post Whoring") may be locked or removed to preserve bandwidth.

Yh...You... you wouldn't! Would you?

Doesn't sound so minor after all, does it? *gulp*

That part isn't red, so I have to presume it isn't new. Sungam just chose (for some reason) to post about that part in this thread. It would easily suggest to anyone who doesn't actually click on the link that it is one of the changes to which J_ung refers, but, if red = new as indicated, it is not.

You presume correctly! It's not one of the changes. Been that way all along.

"No pedophilia. References to pedophilia can only be made in a factual context or in discussion of certain political and social issues. Outside of those limited contexts, Rockclimbing.com will have a zero-tolerance policy to pedophilia and any reference thereto will be removed without explanation. This may include jokes that we deem to be in exceptionally poor taste."

I guess my name for a grainy climb up around Sonora Pass, "Pet a File" is out the window then. Not to mention this post...

never mind... I was never here...

I specifically changed the forum rules to what they are so they'd be more relaxed and posts like yours would not be against them. I felt the previous wording left too little room for interpretation.
